All I Really Want Is To Play Basketball

Chapter 153 Are you ‘The King’?

After going out and searching for a while, Su Feng and Kobe finally found a restaurant that looked pretty good.

There's no way, Cleveland is no better than Philadelphia, let alone Los Angeles.

As a city full of tragedy in the American sports world, Americans call Cleveland:

——"A place worse than hell."

In addition, regarding Cleveland, there is a famous joke in the United States called:

"Cleveland, don't be too sad because you are laughed at by everyone in the United States. You know, everyone in every country will laugh at a city.

For example, in Russia, we laughed at Cleveland. "

There is no doubt that this is a true portrayal of Cleveland, a city in the United States where everyone can make fun of it at will.

So the question is, why would NBA officials arrange such a monumental All-Star Game to be held in Cleveland?

Don't be surprised, if you know what Cleveland has experienced, then you will know why the NBA officially arranged this All-Star Game in Cleveland.

You know, in the 1980s, the Cleveland Cavaliers were a team that forced the league to change the rules for them.

In the early 1980s, after Tedder-Pine bought the Cavaliers, in addition to replacing 23 players and 4 coaches within one year, in 1981, he also did something extremely speechless. .

Perhaps because he felt that the Lakers were not strong enough at the time, in 1981, Pyne gave the Cavaliers' first-round draft pick to the Lakers for almost nothing.

Then, the Cavaliers, who only had 15 wins that season, successfully helped the Lakers win the No. 1 pick.

The Lakers have also become the only championship team in NBA history to hold the No. 1 pick.

NBA executives are like Buddha.

In desperation, they had to change the rules for the stupid Mr. Pine.

After that, no team is allowed to trade first-round picks two years in a row.

cough......

Child, in order to prevent you from being stupid, we can only stipulate that no one is allowed to lie to you.

Funny, funny, and desperate are almost everywhere in the history of the Cleveland Cavaliers.

And even in the late 1980s and early 1990s when the Cavaliers were most glorious, they could only serve as Jordan's background again and again.

Um......

Boss Joe's famous "t" was thrown in the Eastern Conference Finals against the Cavaliers.

There is no future and no stars. Just like the city of Cleveland, the Cavaliers seem to have been labeled as doomed to failure from the beginning of the team's establishment.

Therefore, in this context, holding such an All-Star Game can further highlight the significance of "inheritance" in the eyes of NBA executives.

To give hope to the desperate Cleveland, the top 50 stars will eventually grow old, and the new generation of players will gradually take over the torch from the hands of their predecessors.

This kind of implication expresses Stern's beautiful vision for the future of the NBA.

Burn, Cleveland, to meet your better tomorrow!

Emmm…

Su Feng doesn't know if Cleveland will be able to welcome their tomorrow...

But Su Feng felt that if Kobe continued to eat, his future would definitely be gone.

In a restaurant in Cleveland called "Courage and Hope" in Chinese literal translation, at the beginning, when Su Feng said, "I don't need you to do it, you can just leave the kitchen to me"... .

The owner of this restaurant really wanted to kick Su Feng and Kobe out.

However, after the green coins appeared in front of him, the boss named Connor performed the Sichuan Opera "Changing Faces" for Su Feng and Kobe.

So, after finishing everything, Su Feng started working in the kitchen.

Then......

There's no after that.

Kobe almost ate a cow!

"Are you so hungry?" Su Feng looked at Kobe in surprise and said.

Kobe nodded and continued to destroy the food.

How could Su Feng understand Kobe's bitterness?

You know, now all Kobe's hopes are pinned on "Fire Pizza".

There was no way, Su Feng's cooking skills were so good, so good that Kobe's stomach couldn't hold the food cooked by others.

After accompanying Kobe to have a tooth ceremony, Su Feng suggested that the two of them go for a walk before returning to the hotel in order to prevent Kobe from turning into a dagger.

I have to say that in order to win the favor of Chinese fans, Stern really worked hard this time.

Because when he arrived in Cleveland today, Su Feng discovered that there was a lion dance team performing not far from the officially designated hotel.

In addition, the hotel where Su Feng stayed also hung lanterns and posted Spring Festival couplets.

Even during halftime of this year’s Rookie Challenge, NBA officials will organize players to make glutinous rice balls together.

Obviously, in this life, because of Su Feng's appearance, the flavorful All-Star Weekend that year had already appeared in advance.

"By the way, it seems that today is the Chinese New Year at your place?" While walking, Kobe looked at Su Feng curiously and asked.

Su Feng nodded, "Well, today is called New Year's Eve here at our place."

"If I have a chance in the future, I will definitely go to China with you." Kobe smiled.

Su Feng was happy. If Su Feng remembered correctly, Kobe had to wait until 2001 for his first trip to China.

At that time, Kobe performed a flying dunk on the Jiayuguan Great Wall, which won him a large number of Chinese fans.

In Su Feng's previous life, the large number of Kemies in China was also related to Kobe's frequent visits to China.

And compared to Jordan, Kobe's China trip can definitely be called a conscience. In the future, only Clay and Anta's spokesperson can surpass him.

"Okay, I'll ask you to come with me when I go back." Su Feng patted Kobe on the shoulder and said.

"Isn't there a lot of delicious food in China?" Kobe, who had just eaten, felt a little hungry again for some reason.

Looking at Kobe like this, Su Feng covered his face with his big hands...

God, this Kobe...

He's grown crooked!

With you like this, how can you be the spokesperson of Mamba Mentality in the future, NBA senior Kobe Bryant?

By the way, Cleveland, just when Su Feng and Kobe were walking and chatting...

In a Nike sneaker store, a group of boys from Akron felt their eyes were almost blurred.

On the side, Keith Dambrot looked at the happy expressions on the faces of these children and couldn't help but smile with relief.

French Walker Jr., Cotton, Drew Joyce, Willie McGee, Romeo Travis, LeBron James...

If you ask in the future when and where LeBron James’ basketball journey began, then...

Probably now.

Like Iverson, James also has a father who just sows.

His mother, Gloria, gave birth to him when she was 16 years old.

Gloria was too poor to study and raise young LeBron James at the same time.

Well, history is always surprisingly similar.

Helpless Gloria had no choice but to take little James to seek refuge with her mother, James's grandmother Freida.

In order to take care of her precious grandson, Freida bit the bullet and begged various baby products and toys from her neighbors. Among them, the most famous one was a blue stuffed elephant.

This is definitely the most precious gift in LeBron James’ life.

Because on Christmas Eve in 1987, after receiving the first basketball in his life, James' grandmother Freida passed away.

Since then, James has kept the blue stuffed elephant.

Starving and freezing in his childhood made James grow up quickly, because he understood the so-called warmth and warmth of human relationships from an early age.

After Freida died, in order to support James, Gloria found a prospective stepfather for James.

A man named Eddie Jackson.

But the good times didn't last long. In 1990, Jackson also went to jail.

So, similar to Iverson's experience of eating dirt, the young James also played football for bread and sausage.

In the fourth grade, James, who was a wide receiver on the field, set a record of 19 rushing touchdowns in 6 games.

And just like Iverson later met Coach Thompson, in this year, James also met the first noble person in his life:

——Frankie Walker.

When the school football coach heard that James was going to quit school, he was so angry that he found Gloria:

Please leave your son to me. You can't waste this child's talent. He will definitely become the best wide receiver in the United States in the future!

Eventually, Gloria came to an agreement with Walker.

It is up to Gloria to find a way to pay the rent so that James can live in the Walker home permanently.

And after becoming good friends with Frankie Walker Jr., the son of coach Frankie Walker, and talking about everything, his talent in basketball began to gradually emerge.

In 1996, when Su Feng and Kobe were busy running for the draft, James formed a basketball team with a few friends.

And it was last summer that James met the second noble person in his life because of a chance encounter:

——Former University of Michigan basketball coach Keith Dambrot.

Under Dambrot's guidance, James' basketball skills grew rapidly along with his height.

Until this winter, because the All-Star Weekend happened to be held in Cleveland, in order to let these children who had never left Akron experience the atmosphere of the All-Star Weekend, Dambrot and his friends drove Came to Cleveland from Akron with this bunch of kids.

After taking the Akron boys around for a while, at the suggestion of little French Walker, the group of kids walked into a Nike sneaker store together.

Young James was quickly attracted by these dazzling array of sneakers.

Looking at the basketball shoes placed on the shoe cabinet, James felt his heart beating faster.

However, James did not step forward to touch the sneakers because he noticed the unfriendly look from the store clerk.

There is no way, who makes the air in the United States so "sweet" and "free"?

The poor and the rich are in heaven on one side and hell on the other.

The clerks in this specialty store don't think that these poor guys have enough money to buy any pair of sneakers here.

"Let's go!" In the specialty store, the sensible James looked at the friends around him and said.

As the leader of this group of children, everyone always obeys James.

Although McGee and Travis wanted to take another look, they still firmly followed James out of the Nike sneaker store.

At this time, after waiting for James and the others to leave the store, Dambrot stepped forward and picked up the pair of AJs that James had been staring at just now. He smiled and said to the clerk: "I want these shoes."

It is worth mentioning that just after the clerk installed the pair of AJs for himself, Dambrot looked at the clerk and said: "Please remember that child's face.

In the future, he will be able to buy hundreds of stores like yours. "

After saying that, Dambrot ignored the surprised look in the clerk's eyes. After picking up the shoe box, he slowly followed James and his friends.

"LeBron, do you have any pocket money there?"

Walker put his hand on James' shoulder and said.

Although he is only 12 years old, James is already close to 180 centimeters tall.

He is tall among his peers, so it is difficult for Walker to walk with him by the shoulders as he used to.

"Franky, have you spent all your pocket money again?" James said to Walker with a smile.

Walker nodded awkwardly, spread his hands and said, "Save poor little Franky, the great LeBron."

James shook his head helplessly. After searching in his pocket several times, he took out a few coins and said to Walker, "That's all I have."

Walker smiled after taking the coin, and after a while, he returned to the team with two cones.

"Originally, I only had enough money to buy one, but the boss thought I looked cute, so he gave me one as a gift."

Walker laughed after handing another cone to James.

James glanced at the other four friends and said, "Franky, let's all eat together, one bite each."

Walker struggled for a while, but under James' pressure, he finally handed his own cone to Travis first.

In this way, the six teenagers ate two cones respectively.

Of course, everyone had a tacit understanding to leave the largest share to James.

James frowned and looked at the other five people and said, "Don't do this..."

And perhaps because he was focusing on his friends, at this moment, James didn't notice that his right hand holding the cone happened to bump into a passerby.

Dambrot, who was following James and others, saw this and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "I'm sorry, LeBron didn't mean it..."

ha?

LeBron?

Su Feng, who was originally chatting with Kobe about the things in Iverson's shower room, was stunned when he looked at the ice cream cone stuck on his chest.

"Sir, I'm sorry..."

Looking at the tall Su Feng and Kobe, who was slightly shorter than Su Feng, James frowned and apologized.

Little Frank Walker, who reacted the fastest, hurriedly stepped forward and "rescued" the ice cream cone that was stuck in Su Feng's chest.

"Sir, I swear to God, LeBron didn't mean it."

Wait a minute......

Looking at this group of 12- and 3-year-old black teenagers, and the black boy who looked obviously much older than this group of people, Su Feng decided to take a breath first in respect.

Look to the sky!

So so...

Isn't it my Pippen?

As a "Human Emperor Encyclopedia", how could Su Feng admit the wrong person?

As far as LeBron James looks like, there are not many in the United States...

Although he looks relatively young now, if you say he is 18 years old, Su Feng will believe it.

The tattoo on his forehead is his trademark. He is a young emperor who came out of Akron, a humanoid tank that cannot be beaten no matter how hard it is.

You can dislike him, you can also criticize him and make fun of him.

But what you can't change is that from the moment he landed in the NBA, he had already booked a Hall of Fame seat in advance.

His name is LeBron, and his last name is James.

Su Feng's future successor.

Su Feng feels that the United States is too small.

Because this can allow him to meet James?

Oh yes!

If Su Feng remembers correctly, James has indeed begun to receive formal basketball training at this moment.

So, James came here with his friends to watch the All-Star Weekend?

At this moment, Su Feng looked at James curiously.

From a height perspective, James' current actual height is not much worse than Iverson.

But compared to the future tank, the current young Zhan is a bit too slim.

Also, at this moment, James is still in a half-eating state.

In the future, James will really start to get stronger, and he will have to wait until he reaches high school.

Because he will be famous all over the country in his freshman year of high school, and people will line up to give him money.

After scanning around, if Su Feng's guess was correct, those 12- and 13-year-old black teenagers should be James' gangsters. UU Reading www. uukanshu. net

In two years, James will form a team called the "Northeast Ohio Stars" to play games across the United States.

By the time James is 15, his reputation as a genius will have spread throughout Ohio.

Next, there is my emperor’s brilliant football and basketball records.

James didn't give up football until he decided to skip college and play in the NBA.

Since then, the NFL has also lost a super wide receiver.

The NBA also welcomed a little emperor who was labeled "Magic + Jordan" by scouts.

By the way, just when Su Feng was looking at James, Dambrot suddenly looked at Su Feng and said, "You...are you Su?"

At this time, James suddenly looked up at Su Feng in surprise and said, "You...are you the 'g' who created 'Meteor Slam Dunk'?"

Su Feng: "..."

"That's right, he is Su, this year's starting small forward for the Eastern Stars." Kobe patted Su Feng on the shoulder and smiled.

"Oh my God! We got an All-Star!"

"It's really Su. Look, his hairstyle is exactly the same as in the poster!"

"Wow, 'g'! I really like his 'Meteor Dunk'!"

"I'm sorry, I really didn't mean it just now, 'g'!" James apologized to Su Feng sincerely.

"..."
